Photoplan Revolutionizing Online Real Estate Interactions
Got an iPhone? Youre not going to want to miss the recently released PhotoPlan Mobile 1.0 Beta and youre going to want to tell your clients about it
. The PhotoPlan is the first interactive floor plan presentation that is specifically geared to the iPhone and is going to put you and your clients ahead of everyone else, especially in cutthroat real estate markets where response time needs to be measured in minutes and hours instead of days or weeks.
What PhotoPlan can do for you is give you a venue to show prospective buyers exactly what the home they are looking at has for them. You can set up a floor plan that shows the client how the house is laid out. Photo icons can be placed in any area of the floor plan and link to photos of that area, so clients have an even better idea of how the house looks before they even step inside. You can connect your plan to Google Maps and enable customers to contact you right from the application.
While there are real estate listings and sites that are viewable with mobile devices, this is the first interactive application that enables prospective buyers to fully tour your properties from their iPhone, something that allows them to explore a home before they make an appointment to tour.
Some people may think, So what? This is just going to discourage people from making appointments to tour properties so that their realtor will have a harder time selling them on one! Not so. By cutting down the number of properties that a client has to tour to get a good idea of whether the property is right for them, real estate agents cut down on client burnout. The more information online, the more likely a client is going to be able to determine whether a property meets their needs and appeals to them.
The cutting edge is where real estate agents have to be in order to compete at the top of their game. PhotoPlan is one more way you can use to distinguish yourself from agents who are not so tech savvy. More and more property sellers today are looking for the latest and greatest ways of marketing their properties. Offering your clients PhotoPlan is another way to meet their needs and make their property look great on the market.
